Abstract

This article explores EFL students’ perceptions of purposeful listening strategies implemented in a Listening for Professional Context course at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. This study used a convergent mixed-methods design; data sources were collected from 23 students in an English Language Education Study program through Likert-scale questionnaires, followed by open-ended reflections. Findings reveal that structured listening cycles were perceived to develop students’ focus, metacognitive awareness, strategic autonomy, and engagement with authentic listening materials, suggesting a perceived shift toward more active listening. Pre-listening activities facilitated mental readiness and reduced initial cognitive load, while-listening strategies promoted active processing and real-time monitoring, while post-listening reflection enhanced metacognitive awareness and learner autonomy. Students reported that listening tasks became more manageable and meaningful when guided by explicit strategies, even when working with authentic professional audio texts. These results underscore the importance of integrating purposeful listening cycles into EFL listening instruction, particularly in contexts employing authentic professional materials. The study is limited by a small sample size and reliance on self-reported data. However, it contributes context-specific insight into the use of purposeful listening cycles in the Listening for Professional Context course, with implications for EFL curriculum design and strategy-oriented listening instruction in higher education.

Abstract

Early introduction of English vocabulary is essential for young learners, particularly at the lower primary level where students begin developing basic language awareness. This article reports a community service program entitled “Wordventure: An Engaging Vocabulary Adventure for Elementary School Students,” implemented in Grade 1 of SDIT Qurratu A’yun Wahdah Islamiyah Gorontalo. The program aimed to enhance students’ understanding of basic English vocabulary, specifically names of the days, through a playful and age-appropriate learning approach. The activities were designed using a Total Physical Response–based framework and implemented through games, movement-based activities, and visual flashcards. The program was conducted in a single 40-minute session and evaluated through classroom observation focusing on students’ participation and vocabulary performance. The findings indicate that most students were able to pronounce and sequence the names of the days more accurately and demonstrated high levels of enthusiasm, active engagement, and confidence during the learning process. The program also helped maintain students’ attention and created a positive learning atmosphere. These results suggest that game-based and movement-oriented vocabulary instruction can effectively support meaningful English learning experiences for young learners in primary school contexts.

Abstract

This study examined the level and categories of English reading anxiety among students of the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, class of 2023. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the English Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Inventory (EFLRAI) by Zoghi (2012) was administered to 108 students through Google Forms. The instrument measured three categories of anxiety: top-down, bottom-up, and classroom reading anxiety. Data were analyzed using percentage formulas to classify responses into low, moderate, and high levels. Findings indicated that most students experienced moderate anxiety (56.48%), followed by high (37.04%), and only a small number reported low anxiety (6.48%). Bottom-up anxiety was the most dominant (96.30%), mainly due to vocabulary, while grammar had less impact. Top-down anxiety was linked to general reading ability (93.52%) rather than background & cultural knowledge (3.70%). Classroom reading anxiety was least significant (1.83%). These results highlight vocabulary mastery and general reading ability as major factors, suggesting the need for improved vocabulary teaching and reading strategies.

Abstract

This study explores translanguaging practices in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom communication based on the experiences and perspectives of three English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) lecturers from Universitas Negeri Gorontalo in Indonesia. Translanguaging, which involves the strategic use of students' native language alongside the target language, aims to enhance student comprehension in EFL learning. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study finds that translanguaging strengthens students' understanding, confidence, and participation, particularly when dealing with complex material. However, challenges arise in balancing the use of English and the native language, as over-reliance on the native language may hinder long-term English fluency. This research contributes to understanding the effects of translanguaging in EFL teaching in Indonesia and provides recommendations for educational practitioners.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of inclusive education at the elementary school level from a teacher’s perspective, especially English language instruction. The analysis focus on four key indicators: the availability of instructional materials, the preparedness of human resources, institutional support, and parental involvement. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews with a second-grade English language teacher at SD Laboratorium, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, an inclusive elementary school located in Gorontalo, Indonesia. Findings reveal that while learning materials for students with special educational needs are available, they still require further adaptation and creativity on the part of the teacher. Regarding human resources, the teacher has received basic training in inclusive education but continues to face challenges, including the limited availability of special education support staff. Institutional support is evident through training programs and inclusive policies, although budget constraints remain a significant obstacle. Parental involvement is very active, contributing positively to the continuity of learning at home. This study emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts among teachers, schools, government, and parents in constructing an effective inclusive education environment, particularly in the context of English language learning for students with special needs.

Abstract

Aphasia, a language disorder resulting from brain damage, significantly impacts both language production and comprehension. This paper reviews the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying aphasia, with a focus on expressive and receptive language deficits across different subtypes. In Broca's aphasia, individuals exhibit non-fluent, grammatically impaired speech, while Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by fluent but semantically meaningless speech. Conduction aphasia, a selective production deficit, highlights the role of the arcuate fasciculus in speech. The review also explores comprehension deficits, particularly in syntactic parsing, as seen in Broca’s aphasia. Recent neuroanatomical research has moved beyond the traditional Broca-Wernicke model, demonstrating the involvement of a broader network, including cortical and subcortical regions, in language processing. Assessment tools such as the Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R) and the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE) provide valuable insights into aphasia diagnosis and profile. The paper concludes by discussing modern therapeutic approaches like Constraint-Induced Language Therapy (CILT), Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT), and Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA), which target specific cognitive-linguistic impairments. This review contributes to the understanding of aphasia as a complex, multifaceted disorder, emphasizing its diagnosis, neural bases, and treatment strategies.

Abstract

The mastery of English vocabulary from the elementary school level serves as an important foundation for the development of learners’ future language skills. However, English language instruction in elementary schools often faces challenges, particularly low student learning motivation and limited variation in teaching methods. This community service activity aimed to introduce English language learning through educational games using the topic Things in the Classroom for fourth-grade students at SDN 12 Kota Barat. The activity was conducted on December 9, 2025, involving eight students and implemented through the preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The instructional approach employed was educational game-based English learning (game-based learning), which was implemented through a contextual vocabulary introduction strategy and learning techniques in the form of Simon Says and song with movement activities using simple rhythmic chants. The results indicated that the game-based learning approach created an active and enjoyable learning atmosphere, increased student engagement, and supported the meaningful acquisition of basic English vocabulary. In addition to its positive impact on students, the activity also provided pedagogical experience for university students and inspired creative teaching practices among classroom teachers. Therefore, educational game-based English learning has the potential to be sustainably implemented in elementary school instruction.
